I realize that my English teacher would “have a duck” if she saw the title of this blog. I’m really speaking of “decision maker” when I use the term “decider”.  In Real Estate world the past few years has brought a term to our vocabulary that hasn’t been used so much before this. The term is call...

I live in the country and still have to throw my trash on the back of my truck to carry it to the local convenience center. It’s Saturday morning and I’m actually off work today trying to catch up on my “honey do” list.  I’m on my way to the convenience center to carry off the trash when suddenly...

It can bring solutions to struggles. It can bring hope to what seems like hopeless situations.  I like to the think of the morning a...

Sometimes it’s easy to make a mistake and kill the deal.  I had a listing that didn’t look great “on paper”, meaning the sellers were way out of price for what they were describing to me. However, I told my assistant that I would go through the process with them to see exactly where things were. ...

I passed by a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) on my way in to the office this morning. I was reminded of my interview with the couple of this particular house. They, as many sellers, thought that their house was worth way more than the market says.  If top producing REALTOR’S are trying to list your hou...
